[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
!
DANGER
Install a safety circuit external to the PLC that keeps the ent ire syst em safe even when t here
are problems with the external power supply or the PLC module. Otherwise, t rouble could result from erroneous output or erroneous operation. (1) Outside the PLC, construct mechanical damage preventing interlock circuits such as
emergency stop, protective circuits, positioning upper and low er limits switches and interlocking forward/reverse operations.
(2) When the PLC detects the following problems, it will stop calculation and turn off all out put
in the case of (a). In the case of (b), it will st op calculation and hold or t urn off all out put according to the parameter setting. Note that the AnS series module will turn off the out put in eit her of cases (a) and (b).
(a) The power supply module has over current protection equipment and over voltage
protection equipment.
(b) The PLC CPUs self-diagnosis functions, such as the watch dog timer error, detect
problems. In addition, all output will be turned on when t here are pr oblems that t he PLC CPU cannot detect, such as in the I/O controller. Build a fail safe circuit exterior to the PLC that will make sure the equipment operates safely at such times. See section 9.1 of this manual for example fail safe circuits.
(3) Output could be left on or off when there is trouble in the outputs module relay or transist or.
So build an external monitoring circuit that will monit or any single output s that could cause serious trouble.
A - 1 A - 1
[DESIGN PRECAUTIONS]
!
DANGER
When overcurrent which exceeds the rating or caused by short-circuited load flows in the output
module for a long time, it may cause smoke or fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety circuit, such as fuse.
Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply w hen the PLC main module power is
turned on. If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in erroneous out put or erroneous operation.
When there are communication problems with the data link, refer to the corresponding data link
manual for the operating status of each station. Not doing so could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.
When connecting a peripheral device to the CPU module or connecting a personal computer or
the like to the intelligent function module to exercise control (data change) on the running PLC, configure up an interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that t he whole sy stem w ill always operate safely. Also before exercising other control (program change, operating status change (status control)) on the running PLC, read the manual carefully and fully confirm safety. Especially for the above control on the remote PLC from an external device, an immediate action may not be taken for PLC trouble due to a data communication fault. In addition to configuring up the interlock circuit in the sequence program, corrective and other actions to be taken as a system for the occurrence of a data communication fault should be predetermined between the external device and PLC CPU.
!
CAUTION
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or
install them close to each other. They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other. Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.
When controlling items like lamp load, heater or solenoid valve using an output module, large
current (approximately ten times greater than that present in normal circumstances) may flow when the output is turned OFF to ON. Take measures such as replacing the module with one having sufficient rated current.
A - 2 A - 2
[INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS]
!
CAUTION
Use the PLC in an environment that meets the general specifications contained in this manual.
Using this PLC in an environment outside the range of the general specifications could result in electric shock, fire, erroneous operation, and damage to or deterioration of the product.
Hold down the module loading lever at the module bottom, and securely insert the module
fixing latch into the fixing hole in the base unit. Incorrect loading of the module can cause a malfunction, failure or drop. When using the PLC in the environment of much vibration, tighten the module with a screw. Tighten the screw in the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening can cause a drop, short circuit or malfunction due to damage to the screw or module.
When installing extension cables, be sure that the connectors of base unit are installed
correctly. After installation, check them for looseness. Poor connections could cause an input or output failure.
Securely load the memory card into the memory card loading connector. After loading, check
for lifting. Lifting can cause a malfunction due to a contact fault.
Completely turn off the external power supply before loading or unloading the module. Not
doing so could result in electric shock or damage to the product.
Do not directly touch the module's conductive parts or electronic components. Touching the
conductive parts could cause an operation failure or give damage to the module.
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!
DANGER
Completely turn off the external pow er supply when inst alling or placing w iring. Not completely
turning off all power could result in electric shock or damage to the product.
When turning on the power supply or operating the module after installation or wiring work, be
sure that the module's terminal covers are correctly attached. Not at taching the t erminal cover could result in electric shock.
A - 3 A - 3
[WIRING PRECAUTIONS]
!
CAUTION
Be sure to ground the FG terminals and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor. Not
doing so could result in electric shock or erroneous operation.
When wiring in the PLC, be sure that it is done correctly by checking the product's rated voltage
and the terminal layout. Connecting a power supply that is different from the rating or incorrectly wiring the product could result in fire or damage.
External connections shall be crimped or pressure welded with the specified tools, or correctly
soldered. Imperfect connections could result in short circuit, fires, or erroneous operation.
Tighten the terminal screws with the specified torque. If the terminal screws are loose, it could
result in short circuits, fire, or erroneous operation. Tightening the terminal screws too far may cause damages to the screws and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.
Be sure there are no foreign substances such as sawdust or wiring debris inside the module.
Such debris could cause fires, damage, or erroneous operation.
The module has an ingress prevention label on its top to prevent foreign matter, such as wire
offcuts, from entering the module during wiring. Do not peel this label during wiring. Before starting system operation, be sure to peel this label because of heat dissipation.
[STARTUP AND MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS]
!
DANGER
Do not touch the terminals while power is on.
Doing so could cause shock or erroneous operation.
Correctly connect the battery.
Also, do not charge, disassemble, heat, place in fire, short circuit, or solder the battery . Mishandling of battery can cause overheating or cracks which could result in injury and fires.
Switch all phases of the external power supply off when cleaning the module or retightening the
terminal or module mounting screws. Not doing so could result in electric shock. Undertightening of terminal screws can cause a short circuit or malfunction. Overtightening of screws can cause damages to the screws and/or the module, resulting in fallout, short circuits, or malfunction.

(9) Data can be written automatical ly to standard ROM
You need not use GX Developer to write parameters/programs on a memory card to the standard ROM of the High Performance model QCPU. When the standard ROM is used to perform ROM operation, you can load a memory card into the High Performance model QCPU and write parameters/programs on the memory card to the standard ROM. Hence, you need not carry GX Developer (personal computer) to rewrite the parameters/programs.
(10) External I/O can be turned ON/OFF forcibly
If the High Performance model QCPU is in the RUN mode, you can operate GX Developer to turn external inputs/outputs ON/OFF forcibly, independently of the program execution status. You need not put the High Performance model QCPU in the STOP mode to perform wiring/operation tests by forced ON/OFF of outputs.

(1) Extension bases unit of up to seven stages can be used. (2) Do not use extension cable longer than an overall extension length of 13.2m(43.31ft.). (3) When using an extension cable, do not bind it together with the main circuit (high voltage and
heavy current) line or do not lay down them closely to each other.
(4) When setting the No. of the expansion stages, set it in the ascending order so that the same
No. is not set simultaneously by two extension base units.
(5) When Q5
B, Q6 B and QA1S6 B types of extension base units are mix ed, first connect the Q5 B, Q6 B type and then connect the QA1S6 B type. When setting the No. of the extension stages, set it from Q5
Notes
Although there are no particular restrictions in the order of the installation of the Q5 Q6 B, refer to Section 6.6 for usability.
(6) Connect the extension cable from OUT of the ex tension cable connector of the base unit to IN
of the extension base unit on the next stage.
(7) If 65 or more modules are installed, an error will occur. (8) When the GOT is bus-connected, it occupies one extension stage and one slot. (9) The High Performance model QCPU processes the GOT as a 16-point intelligent function
module. Hence, connecting one GOT decreases 16 points available for the base unit.

4.3 Switch Operation After Writing in Program

When writing a program into the CPU module, do not turn off the system protect set switch SW1 in advance (When the switch is turned off, the system will not be protected).
(1) When a program is written whil e CPU modul e i s stopped:
When a program is written while the CPU module is stopped, operate the switch in the order shown below.
1) RUN / STOP switch : STOP "RUN" LED: Turns off CPU module in stop status
2) RESET / L.CLR switch : Tilt this switch to RESET once, and return it to the
original center position.
3) RUN / STOP switch : STOP "RUN" LED: Turns on CPU module in running status
RUN
(2) When a program is written whil e C PU modul e is r unni ng :
When a program is written while the CPU module is running, the switch need not be operated.
POINTS
(1) Even if the RUN/STOP switch is set to RUN immediately after a program is
written when the CPU module is in the stop status, CPU module will not come into RUN status. When the CPU module is reset with the RESET / L.CLR switch and the RUN/STOP switch is set to RUN after a program has been written, the CPU module can be brought into RUN status.
(2) If the CPU module is desired to be brought into RUN status without resetting it,
operate the RUN/STOP switch from STOP to RUN, RUN to STOP, and STOP to RUN in that order. After the seconds STOP to RUN switch operation, the CPU module is brought into RUN status.
(3) When a program is written while the CPU module is running in boot operation,
the program written during the running is written into the program memory. After a program has been written while the CPU module is running, write the program also into the boot original memory. Failure to write a program into the boot original memory will run an old program at the time of the next boot operation. (For details of the boot operation, refer to the High Performance model QCPU (Q mode) User's Manual (Function Explanation, Program Fundamentals) ).

4.4 Latch Clear Operation

To perform latch clear, operate the RESET/L.CLR switch in the following procedure.
1) RUN/STOP switch : STOP
2) RESET/L.CLR switch : Move the switch to L.CLR several times until the
USER LED flickers.
"USER" LED: Flicker Ready for latch clear.
3) RESET/L.CLR switch : Move the switch to L.CLR once more. "USER" LED: OFF Latch clear complete.
POINTS
(1) The ineffective range for latch clear can be set for each device by the device
setting parameter.
(2) In addition to the way of using the RESET/L.CLR switch for latch clear, remote
latch clear may be performed from GX Developer. For details of the remote latch clear operation using GX Developer, refer to the High Performance model QCPU (Q mode) User's Manual (Function Explanation, Program Fundamentals).

POINTS
1 : Overcurrent protection
The overcurrent protection device shuts off the 5 V, 24 VDC circuit and stops the system if the current flowing in the circuit exceeds the specified value. The LED of the power supply module is unlit or lit dimly upon a voltage drop. If this device is activated, switch the input power supply off and eliminate the cause such as insufficient current capacity or short. Then, a few minutes later, switch it o n t o re sta rt th e system. The initial start for the system takes place when the current value becomes normal.
2 : Overvoltage protection
The overvoltage protection device shuts off the 5 VDC circuit and stops the system if a voltage of 5.5 VDC is applied to the circuit. When this device is activated, the power supply module LED is switched OFF. If this happens, switch the input power OFF, then a few minutes later ON. This causes the initial start for the system to take place. The power supply module must be changed if the system is not booted and the LED remains OFF.
3 : Allowable momentary power failure period
(1) For AC input power supply
y An instantaneous power failure lasting less than 20ms will cause AC
down to be detected, but operation will continue.
y An instantaneous power failure lasting more than 20ms may cause the
operation to continue or initial start to take place depending on the power supply load. Furthermore, by using the same AC power supply for the AC input module and the power supply module, it is possible to prevent the sensor, to which the AC input module is connected, from turning OFF when it is ON when the power is turned OFF. However, if only the AC input module is connected to the AC line, which is connected to the power suppludetection of the AC down for the power supply module may be delayed by the capacitor in the AC input module. Thus, connect a load of approx. 30mA per QX10 unit to the AC line.
(2) For DC input power supply
y An instantaneous power failure lasting less than 10ms (*4) will cause
24VDC down to be detected, but operation will continue.
y An instantaneous power failure lasting more than 10ms (*4) may cause
the operation to continue or initial start to take place depending on the power supply load.
(
4: This is for a 24VDC input. This is 10ms or less for 24VDC or less.)

5.1.2 Selecting the power supply modul e

The power supply module is selected according to the total of current consumption of the base units, I/O modules, intelligent function module, special function module, and peripheral devices supplied by its power supply module. For the internal current consumption of 5 VDC of the base unit, refer to Chapter 6. For the internal current consumption of 5 VDC of the I/O modules, intelligent function module, special function module, and peripheral devices, refer to the Manuals of their respective modules. For the devices obtained by a user, see the manual for the respective device.
(1) When the base unit is of Q3B or Q6B:
MELSEC-Q
Power supply module Q61P-A1, Q61P-A2, etc.
Base unit Q35B, Q65B, etc.
CPU module Q02CPU, Q06HCPU, etc.
I/O module QX10, QY10, etc.
Intelligent function module Q64AD, QJ71LP21-25, etc.
1
Peripheral devices, converter, cables, etc. (for connection between CPU module and PC)
1: The CPU module is loaded on the Q3 B main base
unit.
(a) Selection of power supply module for use of Q52B or Q55B extension base
unit Using the Q52B or Q55B supplies 5VDC power from the power supply module of the main base unit through the extension cable. Therefore, note the following when using the Q52B or Q55B.
1) The power supply module to be loaded on the main base unit should be selected to cover also the 5VDC used on the Q52B or Q55B. For example, either of the following power supply modules must be mounted on the main base unit, when the current consumption on the main base unit is 3A and that on the Q52B or Q55B is 1A.
5VDC Rated output current Type
6A Q61P-A1, Q61P-A2, Q63P
8.5A Q64P
2) Since 5VDC is supplied to the Q52B or Q55B through the extension cable, a voltage drop occurs at the extension cable. You must select the power supply module and extension cable length to ensure that the "IN" connector voltage of the Q52B or Q55B is 4.75VDC or more. For details of a voltage drop, refer to Section 6.6.
5 - 6 5 - 6
5 POWER SUPPLY MODULE
(b) Ideas for reducing voltage drops
The following methods are effective to reduce voltage drops at the extension cables.
1) Changing the module loading positions
2) Using short extension cables
(2) When the base unit is of Q3SB:
MELSEC-Q
Load large current consumption modules on the main base unit. Load small current consumption modules on the extension base unit.
The shorter the extension cable is, the smaller the resistance and voltage drops are. Use the shortest possible extension cables.
Slim type power supply module Q61SP
Slim type main base unit Q32SB, Q33SB, Q35SB
CPU module Q02(H)CPU, Q06HCPU, etc.
I/O module QX10, QY10, etc.
Intelligent function module Q64AD, QJ71LP21-25, etc.

main base unit.
(a) To use the slim type main base unit and slim type power supply module, pay
attention to the capacity of the 5VDC power supply.
1) The capacity of the 5VDC power supply of the power supply module (Q61SP) installed to the slim type main base unit is 2A. Choose modules with total capacity of 2A or less.
5VDC Rated output current Type

(3) When the base unit is of QA1S6B:
MELSEC-Q
Power supply module A1S61PN, A1S62PN, A1S63P
Base unit QA1S65B and QA1S68B
I/O module A1SX10, A1SY1 0, etc.
Special function module A1SD61, A1SD75P1-S3, etc.
2: Select the power supply module also in
consideration of the current consumption of the peripheral devices connected to the special function module. For example, when the AD75TU is connected to the A1SD75P1-S3, the current consumption of the AD75TU must also be taken into account.

5.1.3 Precaution when connecting the uninterr upti v e power supply

peripheral devices AD75TU
2
Be sure of the following terms when connecting the High Performance model QCPU system to the uninterruptive power supply (abbreviated as UPS hereafter):
Use a UPS which employs the constant inverter power supply method with 5 % or less voltage fluctuation. Do not use a UPS with the constant commercial power supply method.

6.6 Guideline for Use of Extension Base Units (Q5B)
Since the Q5B is supplied with 5VDC from the power supply module on the main base unit, a voltage drop occurs at extension cables. Improper I/O may be provided if the specified voltage (4.75VDC or higher) is not supplied to the "IN" connector of the Q5B. When using the Q5B, make sure that the "IN" connector of the Q5B is supplied with 4.75VDC or higher.
And it is recommend to connect it with the shortest possible extension cable right after connecting the main base unit, so as to minimize the effects of voltage drop.
(1) When only the Q5B is connected to the extension base unit
(a) Selection condition
4.75VDC or higher should be supplied to the "IN" connector of the Q5B in the final extension stage.
(b) How to calculate v oltage to "IN" connector
The 5VDC output voltage of the power supply module on the main base unit is set to at least 4.90VDC. Therefore, the Q5B can be used if the voltage drop is 0.15VDC or lower (4.9VDC - 4.75VDC = 0.15VDC).

• When "SM604" is ON, the memory card cannot be removed since the CPU module is using the memory card.
• When "SM605" is ON, turn it OFF. When "SM604" and "SM605" are OFF, remove the memory card in the following procedure.
1) Turn on the special relay "SM609" using the sequence program or by the
device test of GX Developer etc.
2) By monitoring GX Developer etc., check that the special relays "SM600" is
turned off.
3) Extract the memory card.
SM600 (Memory card usable flag) : The system is turned on when memory
card is ready for use by user.
SM604 (memory card use flag) : The system is turned on when the CPU
module uses a memory card.

MELSEC-Q
8 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE
For the products sold in European countries, the conformance to the EMC Directive, which is one of the European Directive, has been a legal obligation since 1996. Also, conformance to the Low Voltage Directive, another European Directive, has been a legal obligation since 1997. Manufacturers who recognize their products must conform to the EMC and Low Voltage Directive required to declare that their products conform to these Directives and put a "CE mark" on their products.

8.1 Requirements for Conformance to EMC Directi ve

The EMC Directive specifies that products placed on the market must "be so constructed that they do not cause excessive electromagnetic interference (emissions) and are not unduly affected by electromagnetic interference (immunity)". The applicable products are requested to meet these requirements. The sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.6 summarize the precautions on conformance to the EMC Directive of the machinery constructed using the MELSEC-Q series PLCs. The details of these precautions has been prepared based on the control requirements and the applicable standards control. However, we will not assure that the overall machinery manufactured according to these details conforms to the above-mentioned directives. The method of conformance to the EMC Directive and the judgment on whether or not the machinery conforms to the EMC Directive must be determined finally by the manufacturer of the machinery.

The PLC is open equipment and must be installed within a control cabinet for use. This not only ensures safety but also ensures effective shielding of PLC-generated electromagnetic noise.
(1) Control cabinet
(a) Use a conductive control cabinet. (b) When attaching the control cabinet's top plate or base plate, mask painting
and weld so that good surface contact can be made between the cabinet and plate.
(c) To ensure good electrical contact with the control cabinet, mask the paint on
the installation bolts of the inner plate in the control cabinet so that contact between surfaces can be ensured over the widest possible area.
(d) Earth the control cabinet with a thick wire so that a low impedance
connection to ground can be ensured even at high frequencies.
(e) Holes made in the control cabinet must be 10 cm (3.94 inch) diameter or
less. If the holes are 10 cm (3.94 inch) or larger, radio frequency noise may be emitted. In addition, because radio waves leak through a clearance between the control panel door and the main unit, reduce the clearance as much as practicable. The leakage of radio waves can be suppressed by the direct application of an EMI gasket on the paint surface. Our tests have been carried out on a panel having the damping characteristics of 37 dB max. and 30 dB mean (measured by 3 m method with 30 to 300 MHz).
(2) Connection of power and earth w ir es
Earthing and power supply wires for the PLC system must be connected as described below. (a) Provide an earthing point near the power supply module. Earth the power
supply's LG and FG terminals (LG : Line Ground, FG : Frame Ground) with the thickest and shortest wire possible. (The wire length must be 30 cm (11.81 inch) or shorter.) The LG and FG terminals function is to pass the noise generated in the PLC system to the ground, so an impedance that is as low as possible must be ensured. As the wires are used to relieve the noise, the wire itself carries a large noise content and thus short wiring means that the wire is prevented from acting as an antenna.
(b) The earth wire led from the earthing point must be twisted with the power
supply wires. By twisting with the earthing wire, noise flowing from the power supply wires can be relieved to the earthing. However, if a filter is installed on the power supply wires, the wires and the earthing wire may not need to be twisted.

8 EMC AND LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE

8.1.3 Cables

The cables extracted from the control panel contain a high frequency noise component. On the outside of the control panel, therefore, they serve as antennas to emit noise. To prevent noise emission, use shielded cable for the cables which are connected to the I/O modules and intelligent function modules and may be extracted to the outside of the control panel. The use of a shielded cable also increases noise resistance. The signal lines connected to the PLC I/O modules and intelligent function modules use shielded cables to assure noise resistance under the conditions where the shield is earthed. If a shielded cable is not used or not earthed correctly, the noise resistance will not meet the specified requirements.
When the shield of a shielded cable is earthed to the cabinet body, please ensure that the shield contact with the body is over a large surface area. If the cabinet body is painted it will be necessary to remove paint from the contact area. All fastenings must be metallic and the shield and earthing contact must be made over the largest available surface area. If the contact surfaces are too uneven for optimal contact to be made either use washers to correct for surface inconsistencies or use an abrasive to level the surfaces. The following diagrams show examples of how to provide good surface contact of shield earthing by use of a cable clamp.
(1) Earthing of shielded of shield cable
(a) Earth the shield of the shielded cable as near the module as possible taking
care so that the earthed cables are not induced electromagnetically by the cable to be earthed.
(b) Take an appropriate measures so that the shield section of the shielded
cable from which the outer cover was partly removed for exposure is earthed to the control panel on an increased contact surface. A clamp may also be used as shown in the figure below. In this case, however, apply a cover to the painted inner wall surface of the control panel which comes in contact with the clamp.

8.1.6 Others (1) Ferrite core

A ferrite core has the effect of reducing radiated noise in the 30MHz to 100MHz band. It is not required to fit ferrite cores to cables, but it is recommended to fit ferrite cores if shield cables pulled out of the enclosure do not provide sufficient shielding e ffects. It should be noted that the ferrite cores should be fitted to the cables in the position immediately before they are pulled out of the enclosure. If the fitting position is improper, the ferrite will not produce any effect. In the CC-Link system, however, ferrite cores cannot be fitted to cables.
(2) Noise filter (pow er supply line filter)
A noise filter is a component which has an effect on conducted noise. It is not required to fit the noise filter to the power supply line, but fitting it can further suppress noise. (The noise filter has the effect of reducing conducted noise of 10 MHz or less.)
The precautions required when installing a noise filter are described below.
(a) Do not bundle the wires on the input side and output side of the noise filter.
When bundled, the output side noise will be induced into the input side wires from which the noise was filtered.

8.2 Requirement to Conform to the Low Voltag e D i r ective

The Low Voltage Directive requires each device that operates with the power supply ranging from 50 to 1000VAC and 75 to 1500VDC to satisfy the safety requirements. In Sections 8.2.1 to 8.2.6, cautions on installation and wiring of the MELSEC-Q series PLC to conform to the Low Voltage Directive are described. We have put the maximum effort to develop this material based on the requirements and standards of the regulation that we have collected. However, compatibility of the devices which are fabricated according to the contents of this manual to the above regulation is not guaranteed. Each manufacturer who fabricates such device should make the final judgement about the application method of the Low Voltage Directive and the product compatibility.

8.2.1 Standard applied for MELSEC-Q series PLC

The standard applied for MELSEC-Q series PLC is EN61010-1 safety of devices used in measurement rooms, control rooms, or laboratories.
The MELSEC-Q series PLC modules which operate at the rated voltage of 50VAC/75VDC or above are also developed to conform to the above standard. The modules which operate at the rated voltage of less than 50VAC/75VDC are out of the Low Voltage Directive application range.

8.2.2 MELSEC-Q series PLC selection

MELSEC-Q
(1) Power supply modul e
There are dangerous voltages (voltages higher than 42.4V peak) inside the power supply modules of the 100/200VAC rated I/O voltages. Therefore, the CE marked models are enhanced in insulation internally between the primary and secondary.
(2) I/O module
There are dangerous voltages (voltages higher than 42.4V peak) inside the I/O modules of the 100/200VAC rated I/O voltages. Therefore, the CE marked models are enhanced in insulation internally between the primary and secondary. The I/O modules of 24VDC or less rating are out of the Low Voltage Directive application range.
(3) CPU module, memory car d, base unit
Using 5VDC circuits inside, the above modules are out of the Low Voltage Directive application range.
(4) Intelligent function modules (special function modules)
The intelligent function modules (special function modules) such as the analog, network and positioning modules are 24VDC or less in rated voltage and are therefore out of the Low Voltage Directive application range.
(5) Display dev i ce

8.2.3 Power supply

The insulation specification of the power supply module was designed assuming installation category II. Be sure to use the installation category II power supply to the PLC. The installation category indicates the durability level against surge voltage generated by a thunderbolt. Category I has the lowest durability; category IV has the highest durability.

8.2.4 Control box

Because the PLC is an open device (a device designed to be stored within another module), be sure to use it after storing in the control box.
(1) Electrical shock preventi on
In order to prevent persons who are not familiar with the electric facility such as the operators from electric shocks, the control box must have the following functions : (a) The control box must be equipped with a lock so that only the personnel who
has studied about the electric facility and have enough knowledge can open it.
(b) The control box must have a structure which automatically stops the power
supply when the box is opened.
(2) Dustproof and waterproof features
The control box also has the dustproof and waterproof functions. Insufficient dustproof and waterproof features lower the insulation withstand voltage, resulting in insulation destruction. The insulation in our PLC is designed to cope with the pollution level 2, so use in an environment with pollustion level 2 or below.
Pollution level 1 : An environment where the air is dry and conductive
dust does not exist.
Pollution level 2 : An environment where conductive dust
does not usually exist, but occasional temporary conductivity occurs due to the accumulated dust. Generally, this is the level for inside the control box equivalent to IP54 in a control room or on the floor of a typical factory.
Pollution level 3 : An environment where conductive dust exits and conductivity
may be generated due to the accumulated dust. An environment for a typical factory floor.
Pollution level 4 : Continuous conductivity may occur due to rain, snow,
etc. An outdoor environment. As shown above, the PLC can realize the pollution level 2 when stored in a control box equivalent to IP54.

9.1 General Safety Requirements

In order to increase the reliability of the system and exploit the maximum performance of its functions, this section describes the methods and precautions for the mounting and installation of the system.
!
DANGER
Install a safety circuit external to the PLC that keeps the entire
system safe even when there are problems with the external power supply or the PLC module. Otherwise, trouble could result from erroneous output or erroneous operation. (1) Outside the PLC, construct mechanical damage preventing
interlock circuits such as emergency stop, protective circuits, positioning upper and lower limits switches and interlocking forward/reverse operations.
(2) When the PLC detects the following problems, it will stop
calculation and turn off all output in the case of (a). In the case of (b), it will stop calculation and hold or turn off all output according to the parameter setting. Note that the A1S series module will turn off the output in either of cases (a) and (b). All outputs of AnS Series Module will be switched off in the followin g ca se s:
(a) The power supply module has over current protection
equipment and over voltage protection equipment.
(b) The PLC CPUs self-diagnosis functions, such as the watch
dog timer error, detect problems. In addition, all output will be turned on when there are problems that the PLC CPU cannot detect, such as in the I/O controller.
(3) Output could be left on or off when there is trouble in the outputs
module relay or transistor. So build an external monitoring circuit that will monitor any single outputs that could cause serious trouble.
When overcurrent which exceeds the rating or caused by short-
circuited load flows in the output module for a long time, it may cause smoke or fire. To prevent this, configure an external safety circuit, such as fu se.
Build a circuit that turns on the external power supply when the PLC
main module power is turned on. If the external power supply is turned on first, it could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.
When there are communication problems with the data link, refer to
the corresponding data link manual for the operating status of each station. Not doing so could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.operating status of each station. Not doing so could result in erroneous output or erroneous operation.

DANGER
!
CAUTION
When the PLC power supply is switched ON-OFF, correct control output may not be performed temporarily due to differences in delay time and starting time between the PLC power supply and the external power supply for the controlled object (especially DC). For example, if the external power supply for the controlled object is switched on in a DC output module and then the PLC power supply is switched on, the DC output module may provide false output instantaneously at power-on of the PLC. Therefore, it is necessary to make up a circuit that can switch on the PLC power supply first. Also, an abnormal operation may be performed if an external power supply fault or PLC failure takes place. To prevent any of these abnormal operations from leading to the abnormal operation of the whole system and in a fail-safe viewpoint, areas which can result in machine breakdown and accidents due to abnormal operations (e.g. emergency stop, protective and interlock circuits) should be constructed outside the PLC. The following page gives examples of system designing in the above viewpoint.
When connecting a peripheral device to the CPU module or connecting
a personal computer or the like to the special function module to exercise control (data change) on the running PLC, configure up an interlock circuit in the sequence program to ensure that the whole system will always operate safely. Also before exercising other control (program change, operating status change (status control)) on the running PLC, read the manual carefully and fully confirm safety. Especially for the above control on the remote PLC from an external device, an immediate action may not be taken for PLC trouble due to a data communication fault. In addition to configuring up the interlock circuit in the sequence program, corrective and other actions to be taken as a system for the occurrence of a data communication fault should be predetermined between the external device and PLC CPU.
Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main
circuit or power wires, or install them close to each other. They should be installed 100 mm (3.94 inch) or more from each other. Not doing so could result in noise that would cause erroneous operation.
When controlling items like lamp load, heater or solenoid valve using an
output module, large current (approximately ten times greater than that present in normal circumstances) may flow when the output is turned OFF to ON. Take measures such as replacing the module with one having sufficient rated current.

(3) Fail-safe measures against failure of the PLC
Failure of a CPU module or memory can be detected by the self-diagnosis function. However, failure of I/O control area may not be detected by the CPU module. In such cases, all I/O points turn ON or OFF depending on a condition of problem, and normal operating conditions and operating safety cannot sometimes be maintained. Though Mitsubishi PLCs are manufactured under strict quality control, they may cause failure or abnormal operations due to unspecific reasons. To prevent the abnormal operation of the whole system, machine breakdown, and accidents, fail-safe circuitry against failure of the PLC must be constructed outside the PLC. Examples of a system and its fail-safe circuitry are described below: <System example>

9.2 Calculating Heat Generation by PLC

The ambient temperature inside the board storing the PLC must be suppressed to a PLC usable ambient temperature of 55°C. For the design of radiation from the storing board, it is necessary to know the average power consumption (heating value) of the devices and instruments stored in the board. Here the method of obtaining the average power consumption of the PLC system is described. From the power consumption, calculate a rise in ambient temperature inside the board.
How to calculate average power consumption
The power consuming parts of the PLC are roughly classified into six blocks as shown below.
(1) Power consumption of power suppl y module
The power conversion efficiency of the power supply module is approx. 70 %, i.e., 30 % of the output power is consumed by heating. As a result, 3/7 of the output power becomes the power consumption. Therefore the calculation formula is as follows.

(2) Power consumption of a total of 5 VDC logic secti on of each
module
The power consumption of the 5 VDC output circuit section of the power supply module is the power consumption of each module (including the current consumption of the base unit).

W
= I5V 5 (W)

(6) Power consumption of the power supply section of the intelligent
function module
S
= I5V 5 + I
W The total of the power consumption values calculated for each block becomes
the power consumption of the overall sequencer system. W = W
From this overall power consumption (W), calculate the heating value and a rise in ambient temperature inside the board. The outline of the calculation formula for a rise in ambient temperature inside the board is shown below.
T =
POINT
When a rise in ambient temperature inside the board exceeds the specified limit, it is recommended that you install a heat exchanger in the board to lower the ambient temperature inside the board. If a normal ventilating fan is used, dust will be sucked into the PLC together with the external air, and it may affect the performance of the PLC.
